The following quote appeared in an article entitled ‘Business and society in the coming decades’, which was available on the website of McKinsey & Company (accessed in October 2015).
“There are compelling reasons companies should seize the initiative to drive social and business benefits. First, in an interconnected world facing unprecedented environmental and social challenges, society will demand it. Increasingly, a basic expectation among customers, governments, and communities will be that the companies they do business with provide a significant net positive return for society at large, not just for investors. This will be part of the implicit contract or license to operate”.

Required:
a) Explain the above statement in the context of corporate social responsibility. [Word limit 150-200 words]
b) Further, do you think such a statement would impact the perceived ‘legitimacy’ of companies? Explain. [Word limit 200 – 250]

COMBINATIONS

Do the following problems using combinations.

1) How many different 5-player teams can be chosen from eight players?

2) How many 13-card bridge hands can be chosen from a deck of cards?

COMBINATIONS INVOLVING SEVERAL SETS

Following problems involve combinations from several different sets.

1) A club has 4 men, 5 women, 8 boys and 10 girls as members. In how many ways can a group of 2 men, 3 women, 4 boys and 4 girls be chosen?

2) How many 4-letter word sequences consisting of two vowels and two consonants can be made from the letters of the word PHOENIX if no letter is repeated?

java Programming Problem 1: Reverse Characters Create an application ReverseCharacters in which you use an array-based stack to read a sentence from the keyboard, and reverse the order of the letters in each word. Print the initial sentence, as well as the result of the reversal operation. Your Tasks: Using the information given in your textbook, create a class named ArrayBasedStack, that will help you solve the problem given above by providing the stack operations you need for this application. Create a class ReverseCharacters that solves the problem mentioned above using an array-based stack, implemented in the class required above. Note that the order of the words in the sentence remains the same, the scope being to reverse the characters in each word. If you implement all the required methods correctly, the driver program should generate outputs similar to the following:

In Python. A file concordance tracks the unique words in a file and their frequencies. Write a program that displays a concordance for a file. The program should output the unique words and their frequencies in alphabetical order. Variations are to track sequences of two words and their frequencies, or n words and their frequencies.

Below is an example file along with the program input and output:

Input : test.txt

output : 3/4 1, 98 1, AND 2, GUARANTEED 1, INDEED 1, PERCENT 1, SUCCEED 1, WILL 2, YES 1, YOU 2

The code needs to read different files by name and also the count the amount of times or occurrence the word showed up and attach the number to the word like above.. The text file will say  

"AND YOU WILL SUCCEED

YES

YES YOU WILL INDEED

98 AND 3/4 PERCENT"

Create a Web application that display an animal classification. For the classification uses the given csv file: test1.csv
(open up the csv file in any no-code insertion text editor like: notepad, wordpad (windows); or vi, emacs, nano, pico (Macs)
– just plain text editor NOT word processor like Word, Pages, etc). The csv file contains information on
the types, traits, and examples of animal classification.
Give the user the following options (it can be in radio buttons) to see the information:
1. The examples of animals in alphabetical order for each type
2. Any oviparous animal, and
3. Which and how many are cold-blooded?
Note. Implement the application with HTML/Javascript and JSP. The application should be treated as a client-server application.

Part 1: Terminology
In your own words, define/describe what each of these terms means in a database context. Do not attempt to copy specific sentences from the video word for word. Examples to support definitions and descriptions are welcome, but are insufficient on their own. You should establish that you understand the significance of each term.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” We know that words can indeed be hurtful. Describe an experience when someone’s (or your) use of a word or language was offensive and how it made you/others feel. Alternately, share an instance when someone’s words made you feel loved, accepted, relaxed, etc.

1. Describe the negative experience and the feelings surrounding it.
2. Describe the positive experience and the feelings surrounding it.
3. Explain ways you can effectively deal with being offended by someone’s use of a word?
4. Is it ethical to correct someone when s/he uses sexist language or makes a stereotypical remark about someone’s ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation? What if that person is your boss or teacher? Explain your response.

I need new and unique answers, please. (Use your own words, don't copy and paste), Please Use your keyboard (Don't use handwriting)

Problem: On an ARM processor using big endian format, given the following memory map and [R1] = 0xA10E0C2D, [R2] = 0x00000060, [R3] = 0x00000002, [R4] = 0x0000000C, predict [R1] and [R2] and draw the updated memory map after an ARM data transfer instruction is executed in EACH case. (hint: (1) in this map, each memory location is a word long and occupies 4 bytes; also you only need to draw the section of the memory including the changed word and its address; (2) these instructions are NOT executed one after the other one; instead, each instruction starts with the initial conditions given in the statement.)
